I am peom


I am from two whose love made me.

I am from the drips of melanin that’s kissed by the sun.

 

I am from the brown of my skin.

I am from the chuckle of my laugh.

I am from the smile on my heart.

 

I am from the smirk behind my gaze.

I am from a supportive & loving family.

I am from siblings who uplift me.

 

I am from a curious mind who wants to be with the stars in the night sky.

I am from lazy mornings sleeping in to the working hard studying at night.

I am from love.

I am from pain.

I am from just about everything.

 

I am from the unpolished.
